00:00:08,007 --> 00:00:10,009
>> HI, MY NAME IS NICOLE SMITH,

3
00:00:10,009 --> 00:00:11,478
AND I'M AN ENGINEER WORKING

4
00:00:11,478 --> 00:00:12,645
ON NASA'S SPACE

5
00:00:12,645 --> 00:00:14,114
EXPLORATION MISSIONS

6
00:00:14,114 --> 00:00:15,548
AT GLENN RESEARCH CENTER

7
00:00:15,548 --> 00:00:16,883
IN OHIO.

8
00:00:16,883 --> 00:00:18,585
NASA HAS A GREAT CHALLENGE

9
00:00:18,585 --> 00:00:19,953
TO SHARE WITH YOU,

10
00:00:19,953 --> 00:00:20,754
AND WE WANT TO SEE

11
00:00:20,754 --> 00:00:22,021
YOUR SOLUTIONS.

12
00:00:22,021 --> 00:00:23,189
THE CHALLENGE IS

13
00:00:23,189 --> 00:00:25,091
SPACECRAFT SAFETY.

14
00:00:28,995 --> 00:00:29,996
HAVE YOU EVER WONDERED WHAT

15
00:00:29,996 --> 00:00:31,398
IT WOULD BE LIKE TO TRAVEL

16
00:00:31,398 --> 00:00:33,833
TO THE MOON, TO MARS,

17
00:00:33,833 --> 00:00:36,669
OR OTHER DESTINATIONS IN SPACE?

18
00:00:36,669 --> 00:00:39,139
SINCE 1961, HUMANS HAVE

19
00:00:39,139 --> 00:00:41,274
BEEN TRAVELING TO SPACE.

20
00:00:41,274 --> 00:00:42,542
HOWEVER, THE FARTHEST

21
00:00:42,542 --> 00:00:44,344
ANYONE HAS EVER GONE

22
00:00:44,344 --> 00:00:46,212
HAS BEEN TO OUR MOON.

23
00:00:46,212 --> 00:00:48,081
IF WE ARE TO EXPLORE FARTHER OUT

24
00:00:48,081 --> 00:00:49,682
INTO OUR SOLAR SYSTEM,

25
00:00:49,682 --> 00:00:51,818
WE'LL NEED A SPACECRAFT THAT

26
00:00:51,818 --> 00:00:53,019
CAN DO MORE THAN

27
00:00:53,019 --> 00:00:54,954
WE'VE EVER IMAGINED.

28
00:00:54,954 --> 00:00:58,024
>> AND LIFTOFF AT DAWN.

29
00:00:58,024 --> 00:00:59,325
THE DAWN OF ORION.

30
00:00:59,325 --> 00:01:01,294
>> IN DECEMBER OF 2014,

31
00:01:01,294 --> 00:01:03,696
NASA COMPLETED A TEST LAUNCH

32
00:01:03,696 --> 00:01:06,966
OF NASA'S NEW ORION SPACECRAFT.

33
00:01:06,966 --> 00:01:09,702
ORION TRAVELED 3,600 MILES

34
00:01:09,702 --> 00:01:11,004
ABOVE EARTH.

35
00:01:11,004 --> 00:01:13,306
THAT'S 15 TIMES FARTHER AWAY

36
00:01:13,306 --> 00:01:14,674
FROM THE PLANET THAN

37
00:01:14,674 --> 00:01:16,943
THE INTERNATIONAL SPACE STATION.

38
00:01:16,943 --> 00:01:18,778
FOR THIS TEST FLIGHT,

39
00:01:18,778 --> 00:01:21,181
NO ASTRONAUTS WERE ON BOARD.

40
00:01:21,181 --> 00:01:22,582
THE SPACECRAFT'S COMPUTERS

41
00:01:22,582 --> 00:01:23,950
CONTROLLED THE FLIGHT,

42
00:01:23,950 --> 00:01:25,318
AND COLLECTED DATA

43
00:01:25,318 --> 00:01:27,687
FROM LAUNCH TO LANDING.

44
00:01:27,687 --> 00:01:29,355
SCIENTISTS ARE NOW STUDYING

45
00:01:29,355 --> 00:01:31,057
THIS DATA, AND CONDUCTING

46
00:01:31,057 --> 00:01:32,625
MORE TESTING TO BETTER

47
00:01:32,625 --> 00:01:34,694
UNDERSTAND SOME OF THE HAZARDS

48
00:01:34,694 --> 00:01:36,563
OR SAFETY CONCERNS THAT

49
00:01:36,563 --> 00:01:38,431
ASTRONAUTS AND THE SPACECRAFT

50
00:01:38,431 --> 00:01:39,732
COULD ENCOUNTER DURING

51
00:01:39,732 --> 00:01:42,435
LONG DISTANCE SPACE MISSIONS.

52
00:01:42,435 --> 00:01:43,937
AS AN ENGINEER WHO WORKS

53
00:01:43,937 --> 00:01:46,506
ON ORION, I'M SO EXCITED ABOUT

54
00:01:46,506 --> 00:01:48,274
THE NEW OPPORTUNITIES THAT

55
00:01:48,274 --> 00:01:50,109
THIS SPACECRAFT WILL GIVE US

56
00:01:50,109 --> 00:01:51,478
IN TRAVELING FARTHER INTO

57
00:01:51,478 --> 00:01:52,846
OUR SOLAR SYSTEM

58
00:01:52,846 --> 00:01:55,415
AND DISCOVERING THE UNKNOWN.

59
00:01:55,415 --> 00:01:56,983
NOW HERE'S NASA ASTRONAUT

60
00:01:56,983 --> 00:01:59,752
AND ENGINEER, STEPHANIE WILSON

61
00:01:59,752 --> 00:02:02,155
TO TELL YOU ABOUT THE CHALLENGE.

62
00:02:02,155 --> 00:02:03,790
>> HI, I AM STEPHANIE WILSON.

63
00:02:03,790 --> 00:02:05,191
I AM SO EXCITED THAT YOU'VE

64
00:02:05,191 --> 00:02:06,392
ACCEPTED THE CHALLENGE

65
00:02:06,392 --> 00:02:07,961
TO BE PART OF NASA'S TEAM.

66
00:02:07,961 --> 00:02:09,195
NASA IS DEVELOPING

67
00:02:09,195 --> 00:02:10,296
THE NEXT GENERATION OF

68
00:02:10,296 --> 00:02:12,031
SPACE EXPLORATION VEHICLES.

69
00:02:12,031 --> 00:02:13,666
LET US EXPLORE ONE VEHICLE

70
00:02:13,666 --> 00:02:15,068
KNOWN AS ORION.

71
00:02:15,068 --> 00:02:16,503
ORION WILL BE ABLE TO TRANSPORT

72
00:02:16,503 --> 00:02:18,304
HUMANS BEYOND LOW EARTH ORBIT,

73
00:02:18,304 --> 00:02:19,839
TRAVELING TO THE MOON, MARS,

74
00:02:19,839 --> 00:02:21,741
AND OTHER DESTINATIONS IN SPACE.

75
00:02:24,944 --> 00:02:26,679
YOUR TEAM'S CHALLENGE,

76
00:02:26,679 --> 00:02:27,847
DESIGN AND BUILD YOUR OWN

77
00:02:27,847 --> 00:02:29,949
MODEL SPACECRAFT FOR TESTING.

78
00:02:29,949 --> 00:02:31,217
YOUR SPACECRAFT MUST BE BUILT

79
00:02:31,217 --> 00:02:32,752
TO PROTECT A CREW OF ASTRONAUTS

80
00:02:32,752 --> 00:02:34,187
DURING A LANDING.

81
00:02:34,187 --> 00:02:35,255
AS YOU TEST AND IMPROVE

82
00:02:35,255 --> 00:02:36,289
YOUR DESIGN USING

83
00:02:36,289 --> 00:02:37,991
THE ENGINEERING DESIGN PROCESS,

84
00:02:37,991 --> 00:02:39,792
YOU MAY FACE PROBLEMS,

85
00:02:39,792 --> 00:02:40,827
YOU MAY HAVE TO COME UP WITH

86
00:02:40,827 --> 00:02:42,495
NEW SOLUTIONS, BUT YOU WILL BE

87
00:02:42,495 --> 00:02:43,496
BUILDING THE SKILLS

88
00:02:43,496 --> 00:02:44,564
AND KNOWLEDGE TO HELP SOLVE

89
00:02:44,564 --> 00:02:45,698
TOMORROW'S CHALLENGES

90
00:02:45,698 --> 00:02:47,600
IN SPACE AND ON EARTH.

91
00:02:47,600 --> 00:02:48,568
SINCE ORION WILL TAKE

92
00:02:48,568 --> 00:02:50,270
MY COLLEAGUES AND I INTO SPACE,

93
00:02:50,270 --> 00:02:51,337
I CANNOT WAIT TO SEE

94
00:02:51,337 --> 00:02:53,206
THE SPACECRAFT YOU CREATE.

95
00:02:53,206 --> 00:02:54,440
>> THANKS, STEPHANIE.

96
00:02:54,440 --> 00:02:55,475
NOW THAT YOU HAVE

97
00:02:55,475 --> 00:02:56,709
YOUR ASSIGNMENT, IT'S TIME

98
00:02:56,709 --> 00:02:58,077
TO GET TO WORK.

99
00:02:58,077 --> 00:03:00,280
YOUR SPACECRAFT MUST:

100
00:03:56,603 --> 00:03:58,037
AND FINALLY...

101
00:04:03,242 --> 00:04:04,544
NOW IT'S YOUR TURN.

102
00:04:04,544 --> 00:04:06,646
BE CREATIVE WITH YOUR DESIGNS.

103
00:04:06,646 --> 00:04:07,880
I CAN'T WAIT TO SEE

104
00:04:07,880 --> 00:04:09,749
WHAT YOUR TEAMS COME UP WITH.

105
00:04:09,749 --> 00:04:10,683
>> YOU ARE THE FUTURE

106
00:04:10,683 --> 00:04:11,718
SCIENTISTS AND ENGINEERS

107
00:04:11,718 --> 00:04:12,785
WHO WILL HELP US IMPROVE

108
00:04:12,785 --> 00:04:14,253
HUMAN SPACE EXPLORATION,

109
00:04:14,253 --> 00:04:15,421
AND I AM SO THRILLED TO

110
00:04:15,421 --> 00:04:17,090
HAVE YOU AS PART OF OUR TEAM.

111
00:04:17,090 --> 00:04:18,424
TOGETHER, WE'LL CHART

112
00:04:18,424 --> 00:04:20,193
A PATH TO NEW DISCOVERIES,

113
00:04:20,193 --> 00:04:22,161
AND WHO KNOWS, YOU MAY EVEN

114
00:04:22,161 --> 00:04:23,763
USE ORION ONE DAY TO BECOME

115
00:04:23,763 --> 00:04:24,964
ONE OF THE FIRST ASTRONAUTS

116
00:04:24,964 --> 00:04:26,499
TO SET FOOT ON MARS.

117
00:04:26,499 --> 00:04:28,201
GOOD LUCK, AND WE LOOK FORWARD

118
00:04:28,201 --> 00:04:30,169
TO SEEING YOUR SOLUTIONS.
